This must be installed prior to installing the patches/updates. See the installation instructions.
Recent Releases
Just copy into your Darwinbots folder (wherever you installed it, generally c:\Program File\DarwinbotsII\)
Unzip the zip file there and say yes to all overwrites.
Please note that higher versions might not necessarily be more stable and bug-free than lower versions. Users are encouraged to download both of the versions below (2.37.6 and 2.42.3b). To do this install version 2.1 twice into two seperate directories and then replace the relevant files in each with the required new version.
2.37.6
- 2.37.6 is a very, very stable release. New users are encouraged to start with this version.
- NOTE: Sysvars2.21.txt may not be included in Version 2.37.6 It is available here as text or as a download. Place it in your "DarwinBotsII" folder.
2.37.7b
- DarwinBots2.37.7b
- A reworking by Endy.
- Fixed a bug involving limitless waste creation caused by storing negative values into .strvenom and .strpoison
- Modified code to allow slime/shell/venom/poison to be unmade for an energy gain
- Negative stores/inc/dec are now absoluted
- Stores/inc/dec to values greater than 999 are now modified to be within 1-999 range; ie. 31330 would be stored to as 330
2.42.3b
- 2.42.3b is also a very stable release with some interesting new capabilities, but there are still a few known problems, particularily with viruses. New users are encouraged to download and run this release alongside 2.37.6 until the remaining differences and incompatabilities between the two versions are completely eliminated. Subsequent versions of 2.4 will continue to narrow this gap but for right now, users should try both.
- NOTE: Most, but not all bots programmed for 2.37.6 work correctly in 2.42.3b. In particular, there are known issues with viruses in 2.42.3b as well as a few remaining issues with ties.
